Space Hulk

We played a couple of games of this last night,

This was the first time i had played it in about 15 years and i thought i would put down some of my thoughts
about the game.
We set up for `suicide mission` the first of a 12 scenario campaign for the game and played it through twice,
with each of us taking a turn to play the Marines. The games progressed quickly and and we played both games in a little under 2 hrs. One of the things i like about the system is that the marine player only has a limited time to complete his move (about 2 mins and 30 seconds) while the stealer player can take as long as he likes to make his move. This adds a sense of urgency to the marine player as he tries to complete his move within the time.
The marines mission was to move through the corridors of the ship and destroy a point in one of the rooms.
Both games ended in wins for the stealer's, with the marines being wiped out before completing the task.
I enjoyed playing this board game again and will do so again. As i already own the original i will not be buying it again but i am going back to have another look and reread the rules again.

i brought my copy in the Virgin Megastore in Oxford street the week end it came out back it the day.

i left it in wales and it cost me £70 to get a copy of ebay (with geanstealer + Deathwing)

Maybe we should have a game next year...

Sounds like a plan,
Gives me a chance to take my shiny new Doom Eagle Terminators out for a spin.
